The real monastic walks through life with a barefooted soul, alert, aware, grateful, and only partially at home. ~ Joan Chittister

head for the hills!

Two more days of work, and then I'm off to Eureka Springs for an eleven day, nine night, all expenses paid (by me...) personal retreat in the Ozarks! How excited am I? Quite.

Something told me back in February that I would need this, so I booked my room in advance for the peak season (unfortunately, I may be a bit too early for the leaves, but that's really no bother in the grand scheme). Simply a 3 1/2 hour picturesque drive from my abode in the capitol city to my cloister in the mountains.

i'm so jealous that you're doing this! (but i shouldn't be, cuz jealousy is a sin??! ha!) the only thing that makes up for it is that I went to PANERA (a.k.a. st.louis BREAD for you) yesterday with Sarah. Gots-to-go when you return!! hope you're having a BLAST!! drive safe.
